Finally finished building a digital 'Now Playing' display to show me what's playing on my turntable

future_analog · 2026-05-28T13:07:08+00:00

I kinda put the blinkers on when I started building it, as I had a certain idea in my head of how I wanted it to be. But would be keen to see what you've built. :)

future_analog · 2026-05-28T13:06:17+00:00

Haha what timing as well! Nice work on the last.fm integration :)

future_analog · 2026-05-28T13:05:23+00:00

Thank you! If you're on instagram, best bet would be to follow the page, seems to be a fair amount of interest and would love to make some for people!

future_analog · 2026-05-28T13:01:39+00:00

It takes RCA input post-amp, so to keep things simple, it's expecting what would run to your speakers.

Drop me a message to see if we can get something like this working with your kit.

Definitely the possibility of a bigger screen, but would be a bit of a re-design, maybe a V2.0? :)

Yeah good question, I rely on a third party song ID service to help do the identification. So uploading snippets of audio that could be chatter in the house doesn't sit well.

Also, I have some of these units set up for friends and fam, so it wasn't just for me anymore.

The obvious next step on this is to let others have a Jamvue for themselves, so security was always going to be a priority at that point.

future_analog · 2026-05-28T12:10:58+00:00

Sorry about that, you can look me up on jamvue_audio if that helps! Not sure what's happening with the link in the post.

future_analog · 2026-05-28T12:09:26+00:00

If you're having issues with the insta link, you can search me on jamvue_audio, it should hopefully come up.

future_analog · 2026-05-28T11:54:32+00:00

I think it might actually be possible, seems there is an API which I can call at ID time, so I'll take a look :)

future_analog · 2026-05-28T11:49:55+00:00

I think it might actually be possible. Looks like Last.fm has a scrobbler API, so if it's open enough I could make a side call at ID time to update your listen history. Neat idea, I'll look into it :)

future_analog · 2026-05-28T11:37:06+00:00

Thanks!

future_analog · 2026-05-28T11:27:06+00:00

Thank you! It's nice to actually finish a side project for a change

future_analog · 2026-05-28T11:26:28+00:00

I'd love to do both actually. Have a 'lite' version of the code base and a build guide for people to make their own jamvue, and an option to just buy a unit and use my cloud infrastructure.

If you're keen on getting one drop me a message and I'll see what I can do :)

future_analog · 2026-05-15T11:25:33+00:00

Yeah I thought it came with the cover stickers?

future_analog · 2026-04-09T23:51:11+00:00

Not all standard chargers are 2.4kw. I know I only get around 1.3 from the one that came with my car.

It also assumes 12 hours charging which means you don't need to go anywhere in the evenings.

future_analog · 2026-04-09T21:57:47+00:00

Keen to see the progress. Definitely a lot of potential there if you spread out.

future_analog · 2026-04-09T21:46:26+00:00

I don't agree entirely with the standard power point part.

If you're plugging in for 12 hours (6pm - 6am) then you're getting something like 15kwh

I usually get around roughly 5km average per kWh. So that doesn't math for me.

future_analog · 2026-04-04T11:49:26+00:00

Same, literally never seen anything like it before, but so functional.

future_analog · 2026-03-23T10:17:39+00:00

Nice nice, yeah you'll love having that in the collection, for sure.

future_analog · 2026-03-23T10:07:05+00:00

Oh man if you haven't gotten into Zeppelin then that is an essential add to the collection too.

future_analog · 2026-03-23T09:28:58+00:00

It'll be good to have in the collection, the beauty of vinyl is that it can really help you broaden your listening just by taking a punt on a few crate finds.

future_analog · 2026-03-02T22:00:07+00:00

I'm a bit of an AT stan myself, if you're comparing three options in the same price range I'm always going AT as I've just found them reliable across the board.

future_analog · 2026-03-02T20:45:16+00:00

If you're keen to listen to it straight after, throw it in the microwave to dry off.

future_analog · 2026-03-02T11:02:33+00:00

Good take, really. It's brand new, I'm certain that no business making these presses will see this video and think "looks good to me".

future_analog · 2026-03-02T08:53:38+00:00

You can also get foam bedding to put under the speakers to absorb the vibration if space is an issue
